Your Burley® trailer is the leading choice of discriminating bicycle trailer owners worldwide. Every effort has been made to ensure your purchase is of top quality and proven design, ready to provide you with many years and miles of happy, safe trailering. Because some of the features and guidelines for using your Burley merit close attention, it is very important that you familiarize yourself with the trailer by reading this entire manual before use. If you have any questions, please contact your Authorized Burley Dealer or check our website at IMPORTANT: Introduction Your Burley is shipped almost completely assembled from the factory. Your final assembly should take about 5 to 10 minutes. Once you’ve read the safety guidelines, you’re ready to go! Before trailering, be sure you have a thorough understanding of the trailer hitch operation. Review the loading guidelines, and make sure the trailer wheels and hitch are securely attached. Any reference to left or right is made in the direction of travel, as if you were sitting on the bike seat looking forward. NOTE: Safety Guidelines Bicycling with a trailer is different from bicycling without one, in ways which aren’t always obvious. It is essential that you read and understand all of the following safety guide lines—in addition to the warnings and instructions in the following sections—prior to using your trailer. Contact your Authorized Burley Dealer if any of these instructions are unclear. Bicycling with a trailer, and bicycling in general, can be hazardous. Failure to observe any of the safety guidelines in this manual could result in accident and serious injury or death. WARNING Use a Well-Maintained Bicycle and Trailer Use a bicycle which is in good working condition, with good brakes. A frequent safety check of your bicycle is essential. Inspect and maintain your trailer as outlined in the “Safety Checklists” of this manual. Have your Authorized Burley Dealer maintain and inspect your bicycle and trailer if you are not qualified to do so. Starting and Stopping Because of the trailer’s additional weight, a bicycle pulling a trailer will be slower to start and stop, and because of its length, requires more time to cross streets or paths. Your entire vehicle is heavier and less responsive. Think ahead and anticipate stops, turns and starts. Note that your trailer extends further out on the left; allow for this difference when turning, passing pedestrians or approaching obstacles, such as posts on bike paths. Experiment with a loaded trailer in an uncongested area to become familiar with how your heavier, longer vehicle responds. BURLEY TRAILER OWNER’S INSTRUCTION AND SAFETY MANUAL Prevent Trailer Tip Over Like automobile and motorcycle trailers, bicycle trailers can tip over. Do not pull your trailer over curbs or hit holes or other road obstructions. Make sure your load is centered and securely fastened down. Do not make high-speed turns or descents when pulling the trailer. Always corner with caution at 5 mph or less, as the trailer cannot lean into a turn the way a bicycle can. Do not travel faster than 15 mph—all road irregularities and your slower reaction time are greatly magnified. Trailers can tip over, causing damage to the trailer and serious injury to the cyclist. AVOID causes of tip over, especially: WARNING • Inadequately secured or centered load • Hitting potholes, curbs and other road obstructions • Taking turns too fast • Sudden swerving • Off-banked turns • Improper wheel installation • Improper tire inflation No Motorized Vehicles Never pull your Burley trailer with a motorized vehicle, as the increased acceleration and speed could damage the trailer or cause it to tip over. Carry Cargo Only The Nomad and Flatbed are designed to carry only cargo. Never use them for transporting people! Wear a Helmet Numerous studies have shown that head injury is the leading cause of bicycling fatalities. Helmets prevent or reduce bicyclists’ head injuries; it is essential that you use an approved bicycling helmet at all times. Proper Wheels and Tires are Essential Use only the factory-supplied wheels, and keep them properly maintained. Inflate the tires to 0– 5 P.S.I. and check the pressure before each use. Do not use higher-pressure tires or knobbies. We recommend using only tires with street tread. BURLEY TRAILER OWNER’S INSTRUCTION AND SAFETY MANUAL Know Your Trailer Hitch Clamp the hitch s...
